AI & Agentic Systems

Architecture for production AI: agent runtimes, retrieval, model routing, tools, memory, gateways, evaluation, and the enterprise systems they connect to.

AI-Native Software Engineering

Redesigning the software delivery lifecycle around coding agents, specifications, automated verification, and human judgment.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Cloud and infrastructure architecture across AWS, OCI, and Azure: Kubernetes, gateways, networking, observability, and infrastructure as code.

Engineering Leadership

Leading complex technical initiatives, setting architectural direction, developing engineers, and turning experimentation into repeatable engineering practice.

• A shared platform for enterprise AI agents

  I lead the architecture of a shared platform for building and operating AI agents across existing enterprise systems, giving teams a common foundation for models, tools, retrieval, security, and observability instead of rebuilding those capabilities for every agent.

• An AI-native delivery platform that turns specifications into working applications

  I lead the architecture of a platform that captures application knowledge as structured specifications and turns it into reviewable, generated software with automated verification, real delivery pipelines, and disposable preview environments.

• A relationship intelligence app that surfaces who to contact next

  I led the architecture of a cross-platform relationship manager that turns a passive contact list into an active priority queue: interaction signals surface the people worth reconnecting with, follow-ups stay attached to the relationship, and voice capture makes it fast to record what happened.

• AI & agentic systems

  Designing enterprise agent platforms, RAG systems, tool architectures, and multi-model runtimes that integrate with existing business systems. MCP is settling into that picture; A2A I am watching closely.

• AI-native software engineering

  Redesigning how software is specified, built, reviewed, tested, and modernized when coding agents join the engineering workflow.

• Cloud & infrastructure

  Building the cloud and platform layers behind modern AI systems: Kubernetes, gateways, infrastructure as code, observability, networking, and multi-cloud architecture.

• Engineering leadership & innovation

  Leading SWAT, turning emerging technologies into repeatable engineering capability, and guiding teams through high-complexity technical work.

• Security & AI governance

  Designing identity, credential boundaries, tenant isolation, guardrails, auditability, and human control into AI systems from the beginning.

• Software architecture & modernization

  Modernizing complex enterprise systems and integration-heavy platforms while preserving the business behavior, reliability, and operational control they already provide.

I live in Costa Rica and I am a solo parent to two kids, nine and seven. Most of my time outside work belongs to them: hiking, zip-lining, horseback riding, whatever adventure comes next. I play golf and soccer, study Japanese, travel whenever I can, and watch a lot of anime. Tensura is the easy favorite.
